DexertoIt’s a new weekend in Destiny 2, which means Xur is back once again, with the shady vendor waiting to sell you Exotics galore and more from his ever-changing stock – as he does each week.
The Final Shape introduced a whole new expansion to Bungie’s looter shooter, and in addition to exciting new Exotics, the Prismatic subclass, and the Pathfinder system, Bungie also introduced a Xur rework.
As was the case before, Xur pops up his shop weekly to offer Exotic weapons and some new Exotic armor rolls along with his exclusive Exotic Cipher quest. However, now he offers additional services, has a rank system, and sells a wider range of gear for you to buy. With all these changes, you’ll want to give him a visit to see what’s on sale this week.
Xur’s location in Destiny 2 this week
From May 2 – May 6, Xur can be located in The Tower’s Bazaar, in a small alleyway to the right of the Ramen Shop. As previously mentioned, the vendor’s rework in The Final Shape has made this Xur’s permanent residence, so he won’t move around to a new spot each week anymore.

When will Xur next return?
After this weekly reset ends, Xur will turn up again on May 9, when he’ll offer you new Exotic and legendary gear.
While Xur’s goods rotate weekly, he always has an Exotic Cipher quest available for players to pick up, and you stack up to five of them these days, so it’s always worth completing.
The exact process for finishing the quest can vary, but it involves completing several activities, including Strikes, Crucible, Gambit, and the Exotic Mission Rotator. If you want to claim old Exotic weapons from the Exotic Kiosk, you’ll want to try and complete this quest every week.
